I’m Kanami. Thanks to Kippei’s habit of devouring everything in sight, the atmosphere at our dinner table is always toxic. Even when I call him out for fishing all the meat out of the curry, he just laughs it off and won’t stop. He wasn’t like this before we got married… Seeing him act like a completely different person makes me feel so empty and pathetic. I can feel my love for him fading more and more every day. Then, I found it—the snack Ayumu had been looking forward to, bought with his own allowance. It was empty before he’d even had a single bite. Don’t tell me… Kippei didn’t actually eat it, did he?
Seeing that Kippei had inhaled the snacks Ayumu bought with his own pocket money filled me with intense rage and deep despair. Even when I confronted him, Kippei just smirked and said, “Geez, food grudges are scary!” He showed zero remorse, even with his own son in tears right in front of him. Realizing then and there that “this man will never change,” I dropped the D-word: divorce. Of course, it was the result of years of pent-up frustration and exhaustion, but more than anything, I couldn’t forgive the fact that he let his own greed make Ayumu cry.
